Capítulo 1278: Chapter 2: Serpentine Revelry (Part 2)
The two of them used the Thousand chanism Shadowless Silk to chat across the distance, talking a lot every day, and their conversations were very natural.
But now, face to face, they both seed a bit at a loss for words.
“Umm…”
“You…”
They both started speaking almost simultaneously.
“You go first.”
Li Fei looked at Ning Qingman.
Ning Qingman turned her head, her gaze beneath the thin veil falling on Li Fei’s face:
“To save the people in the city, you exhausted yourself to the point of near-collapse. I never thought you would be so committed.”
Li Fei shook his head: “You misunderstood.”
“Hmm?”
“I’ve never thought of becoming a Saint.”
“Hmm…”
“Before coming to Cuiqing City this ti, many people were against it. The Eastern Territory Admiral Ye Jingfu told that I am a Great Blue State Marquis, a crucial minister of the country, and should have a heart for the whole world, taking the overall situation into mind.”
Hearing this, Ning Qingman gave a cold laugh, clearly sowhat indifferent.
Li Fei continued:
“After this great battle… I saw a little boy and his mother that Hua Donghan rescued in the city. Clearly, both were survivors of a disaster, tired and hungry, but they imdiately joined the rescue effort, doing their utmost to help, guiding Hua Donghan to save those wounded on the verge of collapse…”
“On the way to save people, I heard that mother teaching her son that they were lucky to encounter two great heroes who spared their lives, and they shouldn’t waste this blessing, so they should do their best to help more people.”
“There are many people in the city similar to this mother and son, all spontaneously participating in rescue efforts… They are all ordinary people, but they moved a bit.”
“For this feeling of being moved, I am willing to do everything in my power to save people, and I am also willing to kill all those who created this disaster!”
“But if soone tells that thousands of miles away, there are hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more people suffering as badly as the folks in Cuiqing City… actually, I wouldn’t be too affected by it…”
“So I never thought of myself as soone who can care for the whole world… My vision can only see the joys and sorrows in front of .”
It was the first ti hearing Li Fei ‘self-analyze’ like this, but Ning Qingman felt as if she already knew it very well.
She wasn’t surprised at all.
She knew Li Fei was like this.
Because she was the sa kind of person.
When did this sense of familiarity begin?
Ning Qingman thought back carefully during the ti when Li Fei was asleep, it seed like it started from that battle in Tan City, after they first achieved ‘Human Sword Unity,’ that feeling gradually erged.
For a ‘Sword Immortal,’ from the mont of holding a sword, understanding the sword is as clear as observing the lines on one’s palm.
But what if the sword becos a person?
To Ning Qingman, the sword is a ‘confidant.’
That person…
“What did you want to ask earlier?”
Ning Qingman inquired.
Li Fei: “What are your plans for the future?”
This question suddenly caused so panic in Ning Qingman’s heart.
Because a few days ago, Li Fei asked her that question in front of three Peak Strong Persons, and she still hadn’t answered.
“Return to the Central Plains, find a scenic place to heal.”
Ning Qingman said, pretending to be relaxed.
Li Fei nodded: “That’s fine, when the war calms down, I should probably go to the Heavenly Tower; didn’t we agree to go together before?”
Ning Qingman hesitated for a mont, then nodded: “Okay, let know when you go.”
Li Fei’s face lit up with a smile: “It’s a deal!”
…
Sowhere in the grassland.
On an unnad mountain.
Qilian Guanshi, wearing a golden Da Man ceremonial robe, stood at the peak, gazing into the distance.
The ‘Divine Eagle King’ Bamu Shenzhe and Temple Shaman Namuhan stood silently behind him.
A mont later, a stout figure in white battle armor descended from the sky, landing on this mountain peak.
His arrival brought imnse pressure to both Bamu Shenzhe and Namuhan, the two top-tier strong persons.
The figure before them seed taller than the mountain, broader than the sea!
The newcor was none other than the grassland’s number one warrior—Tuoba Shanhai!
Da Man Qilian Guanshi is the grassland’s top strong person, while Tuoba Shanhai is undoubtedly the grassland’s second.
Qilian Guanshi represents the pinnacle of the grassland’s Magic Dao, while Tuoba Shanhai represents the pinnacle of the grassland’s Martial Arts.
This Peak of Dao Establishnt Realm Great Grandmaster is undoubtedly the most likely candidate on the grassland to Breakthrough and beco a Martial Saint!
Previously, there was opposition between religious authority and royal authority on the grassland, where the Royal Court’s Khan relied heavily on Tuoba Shanhai.
He was not only the strongest in grassland Martial Arts but also commanded the grassland’s strongest cavalry, the Sky Wolf Blood Riders.
Ten thousand Sky Wolf Blood Riders, Ford Army Formation, could surround and kill a Peak of Dao Establishnt Realm Great Grandmaster.
Tuoba Shanhai also practiced the Military Dao, with an army formation attainnt reaching the ‘Marshal Level,’ making him, combined with the Sky Wolf Blood Riders, stronger than a typical Prince Level!
Because of Tuoba Shanhai and the Sky Wolf Blood Riders, the grassland Royal Court’s Khan could stand toe-to-toe with Qilian Guanshi for so many years.
But no one expected that Tuoba Shanhai would secretly pledge loyalty with the Sky Wolf Blood Riders to Qilian Guanshi!
With the most important two pieces switching sides, Qilian Guanshi was able to quell the inner turmoil within three days.
During the Eastern Territory battle, though the fight was extrely intense, Qilian Guanshi never deployed Tuoba Shanhai and the Sky Wolf Blood Riders, leaving these crucial forces to guard the Royal City.
Firstly, with these two forces in the Royal City, coupled with the city’s Big Array, even if the Da Lan Dynasty sent peak forces for a sneak attack from the rear, it would be difficult to break the formation in a short ti.
Secondly, as Qilian Guanshi had only just suppressed the internal turmoil, he hadn’t fully grasped control over the grassland yet, so he needed Tuoba Shanhai and the Sky Wolf Blood Riders stationed at the Royal Court to watch over the Khan’s faction and prevent any trouble from flaring up in the backyard.
